This is what a climate crisis looks and smells and feels like

Friends — this is what a climate crisis looks like: As millions of acres of Canadian forests burn in devastating wildfires – fueled by climate change – almost 100 million people on the East Coast are under air quality warnings. Exposure to the air in New York City is now the equivalent of smoki…

I’m announcing a new package of gun safety bills to curtail the deadly epidemic of gun violence in our country.

Friends — In case you missed it, last week I introduced a new package of legislation aimed at tackling America’s ongoing, but preventable gun violence epidemic. This legislation deals with 3D printed guns, firearms dealers, gun licensing, and more. Gun violence has taken far too many lives — an…

“If everyone reading this...”

Friends — You’ve probably heard or read the phrase, “If everyone reading this chipped in right now, we’d meet our goal today.” It’s kind of a mind-blowing idea, isn’t it? A contribution of $5 or $10 may not seem like much. And it’s certainly true that one person’s contribution alone isn’t enough…

Police brutality
